3:04 pm
dozens have been injured on egypt's tahrir square tonight in scuffles between supporters of president morsi and those disillusioned with his leadership what's been labeled accountability friday's become the most violent protest the country seen since he came to power just over one hundred days ago the latest now from journalist bell true in the capital. what happened was there were two protest organized today one by the liberal forces who are complaining against most these last one hundred days his plan that he said he would be able to to achieve significant changes to key social issues and egypt also going to the constituent assembly we're currently drafting egypt's national charter which is being dropped in quite an islamist way so we have the liberals who are here to protest against that for the same time the brotherhood came down there is an organized protest in the brotherhood and the brotherhood said political party of the f.t.p. the freedom and justice party against the recent ruling and acquitting twenty five people who were involved reports of involved in the back of the camel one of the bloodiest battles of the eighteen days last year when we had really with liberals
3:05 pm
and islamists in particular prove brotherhood supporters meeting on top here which then erupted in clashes this afternoon because just continue in hama the mood streets where we've seen many crashes before an event by december and kind of top street and just behind me as you can see by the museum i personally witnessed a lot of rock throwing several very heavy a head injuries throwing we have heard gunshots there's been no police presence whatsoever even though in more seize a hundred day plan he did say that he would block security in the country and reassure people that they wouldn't see scenes like this which is what we're witnessing right now there is obviously a growing political islam happening in this country what we saw recently was the supreme guide of the muslim brotherhood of course the president the organization and president calles from he made quite a contentious statement recently calling for jihad or holy war on jerusalem to wrestle it away from the jewish population and give it back to the muslims this is a very contentious statement made morsi himself the president hasn't affirmed it or
3:06 pm
distance himself from the statement but of course the spot many feel is in addition which is one of the reasons why liberals came to the square today we're seeing a massive it is in my zation of the constitution which is obviously key at the moment key articles in the constitution like article q an article thirty six relating to the egyptian. penal code and those who really can see women's rights are really seeing a lot of islam my ization in nature people are saying that the egyptian law should not just a right from the from islamic sharia but actually follow islamic sharia these are one of the ongoing battles within the constituent assembly so basically what we're seeing is on a grassroots level the national level the political level quite a heavy islam is ation of egypt. post reporter yakka flap and spoke to me told me despite clear anti islamist sentiments on turn here today egypt will inevitably think into an islamic state if that draft constitution is passed if we look at some of the draft laws that are now up for debate so we were very concerned for
3:07 pm
anybody who would like to see egypt really circular democratic state sample there was a draft cause that would make the formal sunni islamic institution some sort of body that would be able to decide whether who laws are incompatible with islamic law and these are the basic steps that one would take if one wishes to set up an islamic state i think so long as a majority of people who are setting up the new constitution are. they will naturally seek to create an islamic state and at this stage i don't see how that could be avoided. but the guest of mentioned just now color still close from fabry university said talk about those clashes we saw earlier on in barcelona between the people supporting opposing catalonia is independence of course for it carlos good to see you tonight thanks for being on the program the leaders are overjoyed but there's been a negative storm of comments on the us actually talk about the nobel committee's choices and questions about where around the lead story that the e.u.
3:08 pm
is being given a nobel prize i'm sure you know about it but let's talk the talk about that and talk about the couple of things later what do you think about the moves the. just just a deserving candidate win or do you think. well i think this award basically does a lot to kind of discredit past people who've won this prize i mean it demonstrates a sort of heavy politicization of the use of this award i mean we saw bomb awarded in two thousand and nine in the middle of you know heavy conflicts and now we're seeing it awarded to the e.u. which is you know doesn't exactly have the most peaceful past to begin with even though it has i guess prevented european democracies from having war but. i kind of think this is this is shows a sort of political line that the nobel. or the nobel prize peace prize has started it started to take and in recent years so the would be top of your list. no no it
3:09 pm
would not be the top of my list i think it's i think it's not good. the real reason we got you here tonight what are your thoughts about this we witnessed the clash. because those for and against cut those independents. could this could could these clashes escalate. well i mean right now we have to sort of situate what's going on at the right now and a sort of broader context of what the policies have been in catalonia for the last year or so since the government came into office basically he was sort of the pioneer of a lot of the austerity that the spanish government has been carrying out and that was actually starting to have a very strong effect on basically support for his party. what we've seen was i guess polls at the beginning of the summer showed that his support for his party had dropped significantly there is more austerity on the way so was pretty reasonable to assume that he was going to have even less support he'd been having
3:10 pm
to pact with the conservative base which is the party in the government right now at the spanish level and they have a very hard line sort of position so. what could muscle himself obligated to do basically was after the big rush of the millions of people in the street for the eleventh of september sort of capitalizing on the momentum that more national nationalist sentiment had here and call for elections and sort of read that in the polls are showing that he's actually recovered most of what he lost had lost at the beginning of the summer with this move however. there's also the polls are also showing that there's a very high degree of undecided voters as well as briefly briefly is there any correlation at all between space current spades current economic hardships and these intensified separatism calls in catalonia. well there are there are very very
3:11 pm
clear ties i guess there's a very clear link on the on the one hand. making the cuts with only the votes of the law which is the government office right now looks really bad on his party on the on the other hand basically the economic crisis means that. would basically . if they're taxed at a relatively high rate then they can't keep supposedly all of the money that they make in their region to use to make the cuts maybe a little bit softer and avoid social conflict in this way but mostly the role that it has is that you know when you call a nationalist sentiment what you can do is kind of get the discussion about something that's not the economic crisis and something a little bit more of a feeling so basically elections on november twenty fifth of november going to be about a feeling instead of about the economy ok so show us the close from public university thank you for your thoughts tonight. thanks for having me there's a further trouble the streets and was playing labeled the forgotten revolution

3:16 pm
passenger jet that was forced to land in ankara two days ago russia's foreign minister insists that that confiscated cargo didn't violate any international regulations have a spade. more in this diplomatic standoff. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said that the contents of the plane which was removed was totally legal the documents were checked in moscow as the syrian plane departed but the equipment wasn't designed to be sneakily smuggled into the syrian government and that it broke no international laws. you can use it was certainly no armaments on this plane and they simply could not have been any the aircraft was carrying a cargo that was being shipped from a legitimate russian supplier to a legitimate customer in a legitimate way it was a cargo of electrical supplies for radar stations this is jewel purpose equipment but it is not barred by any international conventions that should be shipping
3:17 pm
documents comply with all relevant requirements and delivering such a type of cargo by a commercial air carrier is a perfectly standard practice. this statement is the latest twist in this angry diplomatic route over this plane that was forced to land it follows a statement by turkish prime minister. saying that they found military equipment and ammunition on the plane of russian origin russia and its turn says that turkey's actions in sending up fighter jets to escort the plane down was excessive and put passengers at risk and passengers on the plane themselves said that turkish authorities acted with excessive force the plane has now gone on towards damascus but there are concerns that this could further inflame tensions between turkey and syria. self rebel activists say jihadist fighters linked to al qaeda for without forces to capture an air base near the city of aleppo that
3:18 pm
announcement is likely to further fuel theories that islamic extremists are playing a greater role in the country's uprising has been the scene of intense fighting in recent weeks let's bring into the conversation jeff steinberg he's a. senior editor of executive intelligence review magazines on the line from washington. the white house today only today accused russia of pursuing a morally bankrupt policy on syria. the seizure of those russian parts from the syrian plane justified first of all you think that accusation is. completely unjustified and i think it just reflects growing embarrassment and hysteria on the part of the obama administration over clear and growing evidence that the syrian opposition is increasingly being dominated by these same al-qaeda linked jihadi networks that just recently assassinated an american ambassador and three other american diplomats in benghazi libya the opposition has clearly
3:19 pm
run aground any military capacity to overthrow the assad regime there are no defections from the syrian army the opposition armed opposition has been defeated significantly in both damascus and aleppo the sunni majority population remains largely in support of the government and so the opposition is resorting to suicide bombings car bombings the standard techniques. that they're continuing to use against the state in afghanistan and iraq and have now carried out in benghazi it's a terrible embarrassment that the united states as president clinton observed a few weeks ago is back in bed with al qaida minus osama bin ladin all the
3:20 pm
situation is not me washington she's saying is far from being neutral in this conflict it appears all forgive him and support to those rebels how would you assess its role that in settling the syrian conflict. well the united states has taken a partisan position in favor of the overthrow of president obama repeatedly has said assad has to go which is to my mind an obscene violation of the most fundamental principles imbedded in the u.n. charter and the functioning of the u.n. security council this goes back to the fact that with the overthrow of gadhafi and his execution once he was captured the united states britain and france have completely overturned the functioning of the permanent five members of the u.n. security council russia and china were lied to by ambassador susan susan rice when they were told that the incident in libya was
3:21 pm
a humanitarian intervention and would not lead to regime change that broke up the functioning of the security council and we're still paying a terrible price the united states cannot be an honest broker and at the same time because the u.s. military is insisting that there be no replay of libyan no no fly zone no direct american military involvement where we're playing second fiddle to saudi arabia qatar and turkey and my understanding is that the saudis have who are one hundred fifty million dollars in recent months into the hands of the radical neo saal of this who are carrying out the suicide bombings and some of whom are part of all kind there jeff i'm afraid we're going to leave it there and i could talk about this old my twenty especially subjects amongst many others jeff steinberg a senior editor of executive intelligence review magazine thank you though for out your thoughts tonight. thank you. yes when
3:22 pm
a further violent crackdown on pro-democracy protests is in bahrain's capital friday security forces attacked demonstrators have crowded into a main street in the ongoing calls for greater freedoms for the shia majority from sunni rulers hundreds of police officers are said to be deployed to monogamous streets there were reports of the demonstrators provoke the police but that's been strong refuted by an eyewitness from bahrain center for human rights. but has close of. this war with just peacefully protesting. democracy and such determination as they were there were at the activity by. clearly it's better. just got the better of the protesters it was just it was your lack of. i'm told you the picture of if you. had the treetop frito peaceful peaceful and that's the chance to attack people without the war to get just directed to the head oh what
3:23 pm
a way to throw it but it goes just go ahead and i tried it before oh here we want to do what we what we did you know what. comment to from dominic kavakeb from bahrain's justice development movement he says western governments continue to sell arms to the regime to secure their interests in the region obviously it doesn't send a particularly fantastic message when you're sending weapons to a country that is using weapons against its people on a daily basis to kill to injure to crush protests to crush an essentially democracy but i think. the reason why the why the u.s. and other countries do that is because they want to keep bahrain as an ally bahrain is seen as an ally of western countries and therefore they want to try and keep the relationship what these governments don't realize until they've got to seems to realize they have a huge amount of leverage they have a lot of ability to convince behind or to pressure them into reform and perhaps they may misunderstand. the strength they have will perhaps you know they're scared
3:24 pm
that their interests which are tied up in that region could be damaged if they you know if there was a democratic change but the reality is the people who are behind democracy they're calling for change it doesn't have to be against the west interests actually i could be very much in the interests of the west and i know the rest of the world would have a democratic and stable country exactly twenty four minutes past eleven moscow time that's going to lake front of my business to be tree. hello and welcome to the business update on as we've been reporting earlier the e.u. has been awarded the nobel peace prize now the reaction the financial world has been pretty mixed and skeptical about it but chris we fed chief strategist from back investment research says this means that the fears that the euro will collapse going away at least for the time being. in the spring i think there was much more of a risk of the eurozone breaking up of greece leaving but i think you know through the
3:25 pm
summer politicians of how to you know more of a reality check can see the consequences are very dangers of breaking up the euro of greece and now since then you know the effort is all towards or the focus is all towards keeping the eurozone intact keeping greece within it we probably will see bigger band-aid being put on the problem over the next couple of weeks or the next month or so but i still think that we're going to run into perhaps even a more severe phase of the eurozone crisis probably next spring. and then as quickly take a look at how the markets ended the week it was a rather depressing session with the r.t.s. my six losing one percent overall of the week has not been successful for the russian market despite high oil prices which have been trading around ninety two dollars per barrel and in my six close two point two percent with one of the biggest losers gazprom losing to the point two percent over. and that's that's from the business team for now do have a nice weekend. in
3:26 pm
japan the average height for men is one hundred eighty two centimeters ten centimeters shorter because of that some employers refused to hire me one of them even told me directly that i was too short to deal with the clients could you just already spend three months in this hospital and it plans to stay for another four to add the coveted seven centimeters to his. stature invented by the famed soviet orthopedic. in the nineteen fifties these frames were initially used to treat fractures in deformities by cutting bones and slowly pulling them up or therefore stimulating tissue regeneration it was out of was able to receive arms and legs and people who thought they were crippled for life decent to the other patients shattered bones in their shattered lives when they go when professor of design his first frame bicycle parts sixty years later his invention is increasingly being
3:27 pm
used to help people who are eager to fracture their legs to become a few centimeters taller than the ultimate goal is still the same six thing somebody is live both literally and figuratively about a third of patients. now days seeking syria. most of them are men and most are not what you would call vertically challenged professor novikov who operated on many of them sas it usually comes down to man's pride. the first patient to turn to us with a leg length in the request to meet his fifteen centimeters to still want to surgery because panos to than him we like to say that we need to break their legs in order to fix this it may be nothing wrong with them from the p.d. point of view but there is something psychological that prevents them from living their laws fully being happy and we fix it like lengthening surgeries are banned in many countries and even the out there pretty expensive in russia the entire course
3:28 pm
costs eleven thousand dollars about one tenth of the similar package in the united states financial considerations were one of the reasons they brought this washington state native to western siberia his main motive for the surgery had to do with how he fared in the others. as one seventy five i was one sixty. seven or one sixty eight in so one page centimeters would have brought me right to our very nice i just wanted to be average for women height isn't so important you know i think girl can be short and it's not a big deal i hear guy is like expected to be taller just before the operation most this matter russian girl who found he's a regional hype quite endearing yet he still wanted to have had the surgery adding seven more centimeters to his self-confidence she took told me the whole time you're crazy you're normal you're perfect. and so now or some other color you're so
